Rating: 5/5Amazing GPU!

Pros: This card is really a great bang for the buck. It replaced my old GTX 285 and I couldn't be happier. Crysis 2 runs great with almost all settings maxed, but does slow down in areas with lots of tessellation (Crytek's fault--poor optimization). Every other game isn't even an issue. Stays surprisingly cool on full loads with minimal noise increase.

Cons: Not really any... if you turn the fans up at 100% it's as loud as a vacuum cleaner, but it never even needs to go that high on full loads.

Other Thoughts: I missed having PhysX, so I downloaded Hybrid PhysX hack and re-instated my old GTX 285 as a dedicated PhysX processor. The cards work wonderful in tandom.

• powerful, throws out crossfire pixels in Skyrim like lil wayne throws hos out of his house; with authority• quieter than the XFX 6970's in the system I built last week• doesn't get above 62C for me• price isn't a con, you get what you pay for in this realm

Cons: • none

Other Thoughts: It takes a 6 and an 8 pin, FYI. Also, be careful if this is going into a midcase. I run a custom box so it doesn't affect me, but I thought I'd mention it.

Rating: 5/5Great Graphics Card!!

Pros: This card is awesome! Took BF3 from high graphics w/ lag to ultra graphics with no lag at all! I can also run Starcraft 2 at about 200 fps as compared to 60 which is all that really matters to me. Zero problems or hiccups so far!

Cons: The only problem I've had (and it really wasn't a problem for me) was that this card is extremely long! almost didn't fit in my ATX case with stray wires and what not. I had to actually disconnect some wire to actually get it in, but now that its in, there are no problems

It had been a while since I had built a pure gaming rig and while doing my extensive research, I landed on this card. It seems to have a great price for the amount of performance that it offers and it DEFINITELY delivers. Stock and right out of the box, I was able to load up Skyrim on ultra with 8xAA, 16xAF, at 1080 resolution. Runs flawlessly. This was before I did any overclocking on either processor or video card. I can raid on Lord of the Rings Online and maintain 62fps even during 24-man raids with the high definition texture pack. It handles the particles and lighting/bloom effects with 0 issues.

This card stays around 60*C during game time, and sometimes 65*C during heavy loads. Never above 70.

I definitely recommend this card for a one card setup. I can only imagine what 2 of these beasts can handle. I may grab another later on IF needed.

Cons: None so far.

Other Thoughts: The card is very LONG. It extends about a 1/4" past my motherboard. Make sure you have a case that fits this card. Grab a tape measure, look at the specs, and check it out. You might have a drive bay in the way. I decided to go with a full size atx tower instead of a mid sized case because of this. If you're going to go mid sized, make sure to grab a super mid or at least one that has enough room to fit this monster.

Rating: 5/5So far so good

Pros: Powerful video card in single card setting. Easy to overclock with the provided software. Play Aion in max. setting without any problem.

Cons: I crossfire 2 of these cards, but the performance doesn't seem to be improved a lot. In 3DMark05, single card gets 28524 score; crossfire 2 cards get 28725 score. In other words, only ~200 score difference.

While I am playing Aion, I totally don't feel the effect of crossfiring my cards. The FPS is absolutely the same. Probably Aion is one of the games that doesn't support crossfire or sli though.

Rating: 5/5Fantastic card, quality manufacturer

Pros: It's a quick card. It handles Battlefield 3 and Skyrim at their highest settings on my 1080p monitor. Everything plugged and played perfectly. It performs exactly as I was expecting. I've never received a bad product from Sapphire.

Cons: It's a pretty large card. I pretty much expect that from modern cards, but that doesn't make the reality of it any better. When the fan is running at 100% (Which it never has unless I manually set it for review purposes), It sounds like a jet engine. The Radeon drivers have been pretty disappointing lately, but that's not the card's fault.

Other Thoughts: I have to say I've always been satisfied with Sapphire products. I've always used them when it comes to GPUs. This card is excellent, and brings everything that it promises that it will. The fan can be loud if it has to really crank up, but that's because it's designed to move a TON of air (Which it definitely does). For the most part, I doubt you'll ever see it go that high. I've never needed it to. If you have a small case, you better triple check that this will fit. It was a pretty snug fit in my Coolermaster 690II Advanced, but didn't require me to remove the hard drive rack. Also, this card DOES require both a 4-pin as well as a 6-pin power connection. It includes molex adapters if your PSU doesn't support this.
